Ok, isn't allowing Decanic practice to get the same bonuses as Kabbalic practice
and a bunch of Decanic bonuses too working in the wrong direction? If Symbol Drawing doesn't do anything for Decanic magic mechanically (not that they don't
use symbols, just that those symbols aren't mystically potent in the setting), but does help Kaballah then that helps to balance them.

Oh, then I misunderstood you ... in that case, I disagree. Sacrifice has been an important part of Judaism since its early recorded history.

Can you cite a source? I've just read an account of the chicken killing practice I mentioned and the author made a huge point of how it
wasn't a sacrifice. I've read elsewhere that the reason that modern Jews are able to ignore the commandants of sacrifice is because they no longer have the Temple, and therefore are currently exempt.
